Geaux Tigers

 J. Goudeau Sdg# 5-12-? -? 
5” 29” Tet, Sev, M, Sfr, Re

After last years tour season I decided that every flower I introduce needs to have a university connection. People will pay anything to have a flower named for their favorite almamater.

Geaux Tigers reminded everyone who visited the garden of LSU

Geaux Tigers is a deep purple with an a pale lavender watermark. Not overly ruffled this baby stands tall reblooms well and holds up to our south Louisiana sun as well as most dark flowers. Bud count is only about 15 branching is four way but Geaux Tigers rebloomed twice last year. I can not wait to see this one in a clump form.  Demand is high and quantities limited. $100 SF

Back Porch Sittin

J. Goudeau Sdg# 5-10-11 
5” 25” Tet, Eve, EM, Re

Back Porch Sittin is something I wish I had more time for. I think I could get used to it but there is just too much to do. Back Porch Sittin is a beautiful creamy yellow turning almost pure white as the heat of the day warms it up. She is a good parent for creams and pastels. Pack Porch Sittin would not have been introduced if she had just stopped blooming. Planted next to my best seedling 038, I do not think there was one time this past season where she did not have flowers. Branching and bud count are moderate but the extended season makes up for it. $50 Double Fan

 

Heart in Hand 
J. Goudeau Sdg# 09-31 
5.5” 27” Tet, Sev, M, Re

Heart in Hand when on is on. This Big dark red flower that sports a white edge when the temps get warm is hard to beat. I like working with reds and Heart in Hand will set pods on the hottest of days.  I like my flowers to have a backdrop of foliage and the dark green foliage behind this dark red flower really sets it apart.  $65 DF

Bathed and Bedded

 J. Goudeau Sdg# 5-5-11-6
3.5” 30” Tet, Sev, EM, Re

Bathed and Bedded has been one of my favorites since initial bloom. Nice tall scape with 4-5 way branching and 15 - 20 buds. This sweetheart of a flower blooms and blooms and just when you think she is finished she blooms again. My kind of flower. Bathed and Bedded is very pod fertile and has a tenancy to send some unusual forms in it's seedlings. $50 DF

Cowboy Up
J. Goudeau 09-232
4” 32”, Tet, Sev, Em, Sfr, Re

Cowboy Up is just irresistable. I did not crop the image so that you could see the bud count and branching which has been cataloged at 6 way and 32 buds.  Cowboy Updoes not sleep for long and reblooms at least twice. Not as clear a color as I would like but the infusion of green has made this garden jewel special $50 DF

Mustang Sally

J. Goudeau Sdg# 5-5-6-8
4”, 27”, Tet, Sev, Sfr, M, Re

What can the veining reminds me of pin strips. This speedy number reblooms well, is nicely scaped and has a decent bud count

 $35 DF

Green Eggs an Ham

J. Goudeau Sdg# 5-6-4-44
4.75”, 27”,  Tet, Sev, Sfr, M, Re (Terrio seedling G2 x Seedling)

Green Eggs and Ham is one of those flower you know is an introduction on the initial bloom. The flower has a green undertone under a polychrome base color. Good parent seeing pods esasily $50 DF

Sleeping Angel
J. Goudeau 6-5-9-1
 5.25” 30”, Tet, Sev, Em, Sfr, Re

 

Sleeping Angel is just irresistable. 20 buds on 4 way branching this flower has measured 6" depending on growing conditions. Just a big nicely shaped yellow flower with green throat. I would use the chartruese descriptor but she pales compared to some of her offspring. $50 DF

Hot and Cold
J. Goudeau 2-5-20
5” 26”, Tet, Sev, EM, Sfr, Re

 

Each time I go north I hear about those tender evergreens. Well I will guarantee more evergreens live north than dormants do in the deep south. Dormants here go summer dormant and never seem to break dormance. (dead and gone) It is so nice when that happens after you pay $300 for one and it does not even bloom for you to get some pollen. Hot and Cold goes completely dormant here and does not go summer dormant. The color is muddy but I am excited to add some dormant genetics to my semi and evergreen lines. Nice gold edge, fertile, reliable rebloomer.  $50 DF

 

Nekkid Woman Weeding the Garden
J. Goudeau 4-9-6
4.75” 26”, Tet, Sev, EM, Sfr, Re

 

I sell out of every flower I use the prefix of Nekkid. I do not know if it reminds people of days past or it just makes people smile. :) Anycase I hated to dissapoint so here you are.  $25 DF
